EDIT: Fixed a plot hole cuz it doesn't make sense for the next chapter. Also hi. I'm back

---Cross's POV---

"So exactly how are we going to go inside again?" I asked as we followed Error aimlessly.

"We're going through the front door," he responded.

"From all the time I've been with you, that's the stupidest thing I've heard," Nightmare grumbled.

"This is the White House you're talking about. They're obviously not going to have any secret passageways or anything!" Error retorted.
"What if there are people there?" Sci asked worriedly.

"As I said before, we influence them. Unless they're true members of his group then I'll leave the rest to them the lot," Error gestured at Horror, Dust and Killer who snickered uncontrollably. "Here, get on," he said as we reached the gate. He crouched down and put his hands clamped together. I put one foot as he simply pushed me over the fence. He continued to help the others until it came to him, clambering over the fence.

"Why can't we use magic?" Reaper said twirling his scythe. Ink looked tensed as Reaper gave him a confused look.

"When did you summon that?" Ink asked tensely.

"Uhh, just before the fence? Why do you ask?" he stated as Ink sighed in relief.

"Oh thank god you didn't do it inside the fence. The whole area is heavily watched meaning any magic can be instantly detected," Ink explained. Woah so this is a really top notch security. Before I could hear Ink explaining the plan one more time, a blur was seen in the corner of my eye-socket. I took a glance to see Chara floating while listening to Ink intently.

"Woah! We are breaking into the ACTUAL White House! Sweet!" he squirmed gleefully, a huge smile plastered on their face.

"We're going to the computer lab downstairs," I muttered quietly so that I wouldn't appear weird in front of the others.

"Lemme guess. To report live feed. Come on Crossy! You know we don't work well in boring situations in a mass break in!" Chara crossed his arms, giving a fake pout.

"That's you Chara. I'm not a psychopathic ex-killer because of XGaster back at work," I grumbled, still keeping it quiet.

"You have to believe me! I KNOW he is up to no good. I bet he faked at being a chief head back in Austrailia!" Chara continued to adamantly complain about how XGaster is a lying prick and betrayed him and his brother. I couldn't care less because of one: I don't know whether it was true or not, two: Chara has betrayed me several times and three: XGaster is my boss so I can't complain or else I lose my job. I raised an eyebrow as I flipped the bird at him, causing him to mutter curses under his breath.

"Who were you doing that to?" Horror asked quizzically.

"I...uhh...No one..." Horror looked at me with concern, before turning his attention back to Ink. I silently cursed under my breath as I saw Chara laughing his ass off.

"HA HA! Karma hurts, doesn't it?" he laughed maniacally as I heard Ink finishing his sentence off.

"Alright. We are set to go!" he said as Error gave him a small smile.

"You ready man?" Reaper nudged me out of my dazed state.

"Yup. Let's see who can get there first?" I grinned as Reaper chuckled.

"Oh. You and your bets. Fine. I bet I'll get there first," a huge grin appeared on his face.

"You're on,"

"Ok enough being adults with a mental age of 7, let's move now!" Killer pushed us both forward at the entrance of the huge building. Horror was jumping around, all hyper and everything. Fell stepped aside as he instantly knocked on the doors. The doors swung open as two guards wearing all black stood at the door, checking who it was.

"It's you-," Dust cut him off as he pulled out a knife and held it to his face.

"Force or no force," Error asked which made me puzzled. What was he talking about? The man that had the knife to his face trembled as he nodded shakily. Error understood and gestured Dust to lower his knife.

"How do you know what to do? Are you working for him?" Killer looked darkly.

"Hell no. Sci told me that,"

"Well, since we used to see each other around the mansion, most of us usually asked whether we came to work for the boss by force or no force. Fell was one of the first people I met when he said that he was forced to work for the boss, there on we became friends!" Sci exclaimed as Fell kept a straight face. Classic, however, was trying his best to hide his jealousy.

"Well... race you down!" I said loudly and ran off in a random direction.

"Hey! You got a head start!" Reaper said as he ran behind me, leaving the others at the entrance.

"Be careful! You could get caught you, idiots!!" Dust called out as we both ignored him and went. I looked back to see Reaper gaining speed until we came to a corner; that's when we had to suddenly stop still to avoid falling and revealing ourselves. Reaper checked over the corner as he waved at me to come. We continued to look past corners, hide behind ornaments special to the White House as we sneaked past guards.

During that time, I looked back to when I first met Reaper on the case. We were busy chasing another criminal until I bumped into the assassin himself. Before I could whip out my knife, he had already tripped me as he calmly jumped off the building. That was on my first chase ever.

Time flies and seeing a side of a criminal makes me question the police.

---???'s POV---

I slowly opened the cupboard as I saw the two guards slip by the corner. Using this advantage, I ran to the staircase, instantly closing the door quietly behind me. I went down the steps, avoiding making noises and checking over the railings if there was someone coming in my direction. I peeked over to see someone grasping on the railing, coming in my direction. I bolted down the stairs and opened a room, instantly shutting it closed.

As I pushed the nearby desk to block the door, I had finally taken a good look at the room I had entered. It was a decent room, like the ones you see in meetings except there was a huge projector on the wall with several computers lined up in perfect order. A smile tugged on my lips as this was the room that I've asked my dad to allow me to see ever since I was young.

I was in the Computer Lab in the White House.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excuse my late late late chapter. I had to catch up on a LOT of coursework that was due the last several weeks that I have been procrastinating on. So in other words, I'm sorry again.

Since I'm back from writer's block and my interest in Undertale has come back (thanks Deltarune and Sean), I have been planning something really big. Like a genuinely BIG project on Wattpad that I've been planning days on end to get everything set with no plot holes or random spontaneous chapter. And of course, it will be Undertale related. However, like this story, ships won't come immediately. It will come like any other relationship in real life so that means: no on the spot fall in love, no one day love etc. There WILL be ships, do not worry, I'm still a Sanscest shipper. It will come out after another book is finished or maybe even before that. Definitely going to have over 40 chapters as per usual.

Anyways, hope you all have a wonderful day/night!
